Race Day Fashions for Spring Racing Carnival

Race Day Fashions for Spring Racing Carnival

Spring means lots of things ~ it means greener gardens, warmer days and the smell of jasmine in the air. For the team at Cool Clutch, Spring also has another incredibly inviting feature ~ Spring Racing Carnival!

There isn’t much more exciting than an excuse to hit the green with a group of girlfriends, glammed up to the nines, Rose or bubbles in hand. The very thought of it excites us; the jaw-dropping frocks, the gorgeous hats and fascinators and of course, the opportunity to indulge in a new handbag that will both hide and chill our vino at the same time. Perfection.

Race day fashions are forever changing, trends ebb and flow and it can feel overwhelming to keep up. So today we focus on three looks that will rock your world, regardless of the current fashion trends, your body shape or the weather and will see you walking in to the racetrack like you own it!

Classic and chic ~

An understated but forever classic look is always a winner. Perfect if you like to feel chic but not loud, the key to pulling off this look is to keep it simple. Pair a gorgeous block colour (think navy, grey or red) frock with a pair of nude heels and a killer up-do, and the only thing you’ll be left to decide is whether to treat yourself to Crystal or Kelly or both! Kate Middleton always turns heads with her classic racing fashion, and her recent visit to Royal Ascot – wonder if we could get a Cool Clutch Tote in her hands for her next day at the races!

Floral and flirty ~

Fun for the young and the young-at-heart, a flirty look at the races is a sure fire way to turn heads. Forget the plunging necklines and micro-short hemlines, pulling off a successful flirty look entails looking playful and fun, but this look is also universally glam. Team up a show-stopping floral pin-up frock with a pearl necklace and a nice wedge heel, or opt for demure pastels paired with an oversized sunhat, flower crowns or floral fascinator. We think both Judy and Elizabeth will compliment your look ~

Bright and bubbly ~

Dressing with flare oozes confidence, and will ensure that you’ll be turning heads for the entire day. Choose bright bold hues like Rachel’s brilliant blue and select interesting dress cuts, source a stunning headpiece or a statement necklace ~ whatever your choice, be brave and ‘go big or go home’ ~ your look will reflect your confidence, and will tick all the boxes for notably amazing race day fashion.

The most important thing to remember when putting together your outfit for a day at the races is that if you love every piece that you’re wearing, then you are more likely to head out there like you own it girl! Feeling good about yourself and having self-confidence is the sexiest look on the racetrack this Spring Racing Carnival season and when paired with any of our Lovely Ladies of Cool Clutch, you are destined to look and feel invincible! 😉
